Aircraft / Instructor Rental Rates

Poplar Grove Airport has a fleet of rental aircraft to satisfy almost any private pilot’s needs. Whether you need one of our modern trainers, or a vintage “taildragger,” you can be assured you are renting a safe, well maintained aircraft.

Poplar Grove rental rates are based on hourly usage of the aircraft. The usage is billed in 1/10th hour increments and is determined by the “Hobbs meter” (like a digital clock) located in each aircraft. The Dual rates include a Certified Flight Instructor. Unlike controlled fields that often require a long taxi or frequent traffic delays, your rental hour at Poplar Grove will be used doing what you are paying for: FLYING!

Tailwheel Aircraft

Commonly called “taildraggers,” these aircraft have one wheel in the rear and two main wheels in the front. This configuration is more prevalent on antique and vintage aircraft. This setup is better for rough or grass strips, and many people believe learning in a tailwheel aircraft produces better flying skills in student pilots.
